SUMMARY:The Amazing Gift of Language with Steve Clark
DESCRIPTION:TOPIC: The Amazing Gift of Language\nSPEAKER: Steve Clark\, Professor Emeritus\, Moody Bible Institute \nWhat is language? This presentation will provide an overview of something we rarely consider because it is so automatic: language\, the ability to express to others anything we can think of. After looking at what actually happens when we speak\, we will summarize eight facts about language\, such as its diversity\, its productivity\, how we learn it\, etc. A variety of illustrations and demonstrations will be used to add interest. The goal is to encourage a deeper understanding of\, and appreciation for\, this uniquely human gift. \n\nNOTE: Attend in-person at PUMC\, no registration required. Attend via Zoom\, please register with the Zoom link above. \n\nBIOGRAPHY \nSteve retired in 2019 after serving as professor of linguistics at a college in Chicago for 23 years. Prior to that\, he and his family lived for 11 years in a remote area of Papua New Guinea\, where he analyzed and became fluent in the Sio language\, which is spoken by fewer than 3\,000 people and had never been studied before. \nHe did a linguistic analysis of the language\, created an orthography\, collected oral texts\, developed a literacy program\, and translated portions of the Bible into the language. He holds graduate degrees in linguistics (University of North Dakota) and education (University of Kansas). \nHe currently lives in Indian Land\, SC\, and keeps busy teaching English to recently arrived immigrants\, and officiating track and field meets at colleges and universities across the Carolinas.

SUMMARY:Lighting a Pathway for Young Artists with Corey Mitchell
DESCRIPTION:TOPIC: Lighting a Pathway for Young Artists\nSPEAKER: Corey Mitchell\, Founder of Theater Gap Initiative \nMitchell will talk about his journey as an arts educator spreading the message of excellence and helping to create a pathway for young artists to have a career and change their trajectory. \nThe Theatre Gap Initiative (TGI)\, founded by longtime Charlotte educator Corey Mitchell\, is a nonprofit college-prep program for high school grads who aspire to apply for Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) and conservatory programs. TGI’s programming is focused on helping students of color successfully navigate the process of applications\, prescreens and auditions. \nIt was founded on the principle that equity means more than the distribution of wealth. It is access to systems that people of color have been historically excluded from. By collaborating with local\, collegiate\, and national Arts Institutions\, TGI wants to help to dismantle those systems. \nTheater Gap Initiative \nBIOGRAPHY \nTony Award winner Corey Mitchell is the inaugural recipient for Excellence in Theatre Education. He was selected as a top 50 Finalist for 2017 Global Teacher Prize and was named North Carolina Outstanding Theatre Arts Educator by the North Carolina Theatre Conference. Most recently\, he was selected as the first recipient of the Stephen Schwartz Musical Theatre Teacher of the Year Award\, presented by the Educational Theatre Association and the ASCAP\, and also received The Cato Lifetime Achievement in Teaching Award from the Arts and Science Council of Charlotte. Corey has twenty-five years’ experience in the classroom\, including twenty years as Theatre Arts Educator at Northwest School of the Arts in Charlotte\, NC. \nCorey is active as a director\, actor\, keynote speaker\, educational consultant\, and workshop presenter in Charlotte and throughout the country. He advocates for arts education through his work on the Board of Directors for the North Carolina Theatre Conference and Brava Theatre Company\, and the Charlotte Mecklenburg Community Foundation for the Carolinas. Corey’s past and present students are performing\, writing\, and composing for community\, university\, and regional theatre\, as well as theme parks\, independent and studio films\, the West End\, national tours\, and Broadway musical-theatre productions. \n\nNOTE: Attend in-person at PUMC\, no registration required.

SUMMARY:Ruth Bader Ginsburg: On Being American with Suzanne Reynolds
DESCRIPTION:TOPIC: Ruth Bader Ginsburg: On Being American\nSPEAKER: Suzanne Reynolds\, Dean and Professor Emerita\, Wake Forest Law \nRBG expanded our concept of who and what was included in the concept of being American. As a lawyer for the ACLU’s Women’s Project\, she advocated for an expansive theory of equal protection that eventually she would enshrine as an associate justice on the Supreme Court. \nBIOGRAPHY\nSuzanne Reynolds is widely respected for her scholarship and teaching about family law and for her public service. \nShe was a principal drafter of statutes that modernized the law of both alimony and of adoption\, and she co-founded a domestic violence program that received national recognition by the ABA for providing legal assistance to the poor. Suzanne authored a three-volume treatise on North Carolina family law that has become the authoritative source for law students\, lawyers\, and judges. \nHer empirical work has focused on outcomes in high conflict custody disputes. She was the recipient of a Distinguished Woman of the Year award presented by Governor Hunt in 1998 and of the Gwyneth B. Davis award for Public Service presented by N.C. Association of Women Attorneys in 1996. \nSuzanne was a candidate for the North Carolina Supreme Court in November 2008\, narrowly losing her bid for that seat. Before teaching\, she practiced civil litigation at Smith\, Moore\, Smith\, Schell & Hunter (now Smith Moore Leatherwood.) She and her husband\, Robert (Hoppy) Elliot\, who is a partner in the law firm of Elliot Morgan Parsonage\, have three adult children: Michael\, Caroline\, and Lillie. \n\nNOTE: Attend in-person at PUMC\, no registration required.
